[ale] [OT] Extending a wifi network

[Brian J. Dowd]

Just FYI...There is a downloadable v6 out there now for these Linksys 
routers.
You can download it and use the admin functions to install them.
I don't know if this v6 provides the WDS mode.

>What you want is the v1 thru v4 of the Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS 
>routers.  Upgrade the firmware to the Sveasoft "Talisman" or "Alchemy", 
>which just are Linksys with added features.  This will enable WDS mode 
>which does what you want.  I have the same situation you have and 
>successfully use two routers to provide a wifi pipe for another room.  
>The second router also provides enhance wifi coverage of the house.  The 
>latest v5 won't work so don't go to Best Buy looking for these.  Go to 
>Ebay or somewhere second hand.  There are several other brands like 
>Belkin that Sveasoft is working on.
